I have a friend who has been popping Ambien for so long it has stopped working. She’ll text me restless at 5 a.m. as she drifts in and out of nightmarish sleep. Clearly a lifestyle change is in order, but that’s always easier said than done.

“Floss daily,” says your dentist. How many of us actually obey? It’s not that I don’t agree with the benefits.
